Anything Ibrahimovic Can Do, Cavani Can Too

Cavani was not to be outdone by Ibrahimovic, though. El Matador was given the second 45 to make an impression, and he did just that.

Ibra’s first was special, but so was Cavani’s. A magical solo effort that saw him take on his man, then take the ball around the goalkeeper before scoring from a tight angle.

It was the type of goal that we don’t see from Cavani too often, underlining exactly why PSG were prepared to pay such a premium price for the Uruguayan.

On the day, Blanc was able to substitute Ibrahimovic for Cavani seamlessly. Against better opposition, although PSG were understrength in this match, that might not happen given Ibra’s greater creativity.
